The buy low and sell high strategy works in most of the places. As long as you keep your limited to the niche of spot trading and dont expose yourself to the risks of leverage/margin and all those things, you should be good. The next important thing is being consistent in following your method. Although there is no guarantee, you will make money in safe manner.
The methods other than spot trading are all in favor of the exchange and they are more of gambling than trading. It is better to avoid those and choose spot trading in which long term is the preferred choice over day trading.
Actually there is a little difference of opinion between us about trading other than spot, although I also agree that it leads to gambling with the note that it is done by people who are not knowledgeable, or they just guess in making trades, if they do it with knowledge then it is not like gambling in my opinion.
I agree with you that spot is a safer place than the others, although it will also be safe if we enter the right coins, especially bitcoin or coins that are already very trusted. Because we will not lose money or lose as long as we still hold the coin, even if the price drops very far, it only takes patience for us to return capital and achieve profit. But once again this must also be on safe coins, the top recommendation is bitcoin.
True, basically trading is a very difficult activity to do, because there are so many things that a trader must prepare, there is one ability that is not taught in theory and that is the most difficult which is having a strong mentality and psychology, the reason is because you will only be able to have this ability when you have passed the adaptation stage with a number of losses that you experience due to the fierce market fluctuations in an unspecified period of time. This is one of the things that is very difficult to learn, but it is very important for a trader to have because it leads to risk management and also helps prevent a trader from being hesitant every time they want to make a decision.
The point is that trading is an activity that is not easy to do, everyone has the same opportunity but not infrequently those who end up with many losses due to treating trading like gambling due to lack of knowledge due to desperation in learning difficult things, this is something that must be considered before you jump in, if you feel unable to do it then it is clearly better to make the spot market an option, because it is the safest, like the bitcoin you recommend.
